Dampness was found in the house. Called Stephen for advice. He turned up the next day and gave the work plan what needs to be done and a quote. Arranged the date, 2 professionals worked for 3 days, completed the job, and cleaned the area. We received a 20-year warranty certificate. Very reliable company, true professionals.

Detailed reviews
Stephen Jenkins the director came to give me a quote after a house survey. I expected to be told I needed major work with a hefty price. But what a surprise and delight when Mr Jenkins told me that no work needed. What a delight to find an honest tradesman. I would highly recommened this company.
From getting quote to the work being completed they was very polite. The job was done quickly and professionally. The job was completed within the time scale I was given and they left the place as tidy as possible.(wouldn't expect them to get the polish out). Highly recommended them and will use again if I find out I have any more problems.

Damp and timber work isn't licensed in the UK, and "rising damp" is often over-diagnosed - so a real qualification matters. Property Care Association members hold recognised damp-surveying qualifications (CSRT/CSSW), follow a code of ethics and must have traded at least three years. Check they're a PCA member before you accept a damp-treatment quote.
Check the PCA registerGet an INDEPENDENT damp survey, not a free one from the firm that wants to sell you the treatment. A free survey has every incentive to diagnose expensive 'rising damp', when the problem is often condensation, a leak, or high ground level that needs no chemical injection.
Insist they identify and fix the underlying CAUSE (a leak, blocked airbricks, poor ventilation, failed pointing) before agreeing to an injected damp-proof course, and ask them to explain why simpler fixes won't work.
Get the diagnosis and an itemised quote in writing, and be wary of pressure to sign on the spot for a long 'guarantee' that is only worth anything while that firm is still trading.
